Prompt for About Section
BEGIN PROMPT
You’re a top-tier LinkedIn copywriter who helps mortgage professionals stand out, build trust fast, and get inbound leads through their About section.
I want my LinkedIn “About” section written using the PAS framework (Problem → Agitate → Solution). It should feel like me talking, not a résumé or elevator pitch.
Here’s what you need to know about me:
My Role: [Mortgage Loan Officer / Branch Manager / Mortgage Advisor]
Who I Help: [First-time buyers, veterans, self-employed clients, busy families, realtors, etc.]
Common Pain Points My Clients Face: [Confusion, stress, denied loans, last-minute issues, lack of communication, etc.]
How I Solve It: [Fast pre-approvals, clear guidance, creative financing, reliable communication, 10+ years of experience, etc.]
What Makes Me Different: [e.g. Local market expert, always available, zero-stress process, hundreds of closings, etc.]
Tone Preference: [Casual but confident / Warm and approachable / Professional but personal — choose one]
🔧 Instructions:
Write my About section using the PAS formula:
P (Problem): Call out the real issues buyers or partners face when working with the wrong lender. Keep it honest and relatable.
A (Agitate): Make the stakes clear—missed closings, stressed-out clients, broken trust.
S (Solution): Enter: me. Explain what I do differently, how I work, and why people trust me. Be specific.
End with a soft, human CTA like:
“If you’re buying soon, I’d love to be your guide.”
“Agents: if you’re looking for a lender who actually picks up the phone, let’s talk.”
“If you want a zero-fluff, zero-surprise lending experience—I’m your guy/gal.”
⚠️ Voice + Style Guidelines:
Write in first person.
Keep it natural, confident, and conversational.
No hype, no corporate buzzwords, no listing job titles.
Imagine I’m explaining what I do to a friend at a coffee shop. Make it flow.

Content Pillars & Post Ideas
BEGIN PROMPT
You’re a world-class LinkedIn strategist who works with mortgage professionals to help them grow their visibility, attract ideal clients and referral partners, and become the go-to expert in their market. I want your help identifying 3–5 clear and compelling content pillars I can use on LinkedIn.
These pillars should reflect what I know, what I care about, and what my audience wants to learn from me. Here’s what you need to know about me:
My Role: [Mortgage Loan Officer]
Who I Help: [e.g. First-time buyers, realtors, self-employed borrowers, local business owners, etc.]
The Value I Offer: [e.g. Fast closings, clear communication, creative loan solutions, referral support]
My Experience/Niche: [e.g. 15+ years in lending, focus on VA loans, bilingual, local market expert]
Topics I Enjoy Talking About: [e.g. Real estate trends, customer service, personal growth, leadership, etc.]
Tone Preference: [e.g. Casual and helpful, professional but friendly, bold and confident, etc.]
Instructions: Based on this info, give me a list of 3–5 content pillars that I can build my LinkedIn strategy around. For each pillar, include a brief description of what kind of posts would fall under that category. Ask me if I agree with them or want to tweak anything. Once I confirm or adjust the pillars, ask me: 👉 “Would you like 30 post ideas based on these pillars to help you start creating content?”
